Death… And Me

Chapter 2782: The Several Fronts

In the Realm of Gods, where the highest number of different races existed in the Universe, one could find the Spaceships of Garisan in three different locations.

Himmel was perked in his Regal Phoenix Form above the main building near the Temporal Path entrance. In the distance, he could see ten Spaceship. He also could feel the presence of a Semi-Celesital Realm expert hiding in the back of the gigantic army in front of him. ”Sofrixa, do you know if this will be enough?” Himmel asked in his communication badge.

Sofrixa, the Beholder of the Spirit Race, shook his head near the Spirit Raceʼs Spiritual Tree. This tree held a huge significance to the Spirits of all races of the Realm of Gods. The twins never had a chance to come here, but they knew about its existence. It was said that this tree was capable of regulating the birthrate of new spirits to a certain extent, although no one knew if it was true.

At the moment, another 10 Spaceships from Garisan were also sieging this tree.

”No idea,” Sofrixa answered the call on his communication badge. ”Look at them. If you pay attention to your Divine Sense, you will see that everyone in that army has those annoying armors the Vruves have. Rean made a few more of them and gave them to us. However, you and I canʼt use it since they were not made for races that arenʼt humanoid in form. We are at a huge disadvantage here. Besides...”

Himmel knew what Sofrixa meant. ”Indeed, the Underworld seems to have the Underworld Relic to make up for the difference. Iʼm not too sure yet, but the reports said the Heavens also have something similar no one has heard about before. We from the Realm of Gods donʼt have anything like them. Still, we do have one thing...”

Himmel then raised his wing. Immediately, the sky became dark as an army of ridiculous proportions began to rise. Every single member was, at the very least, in the Transition Realm. ”We have numbers! We might as well use them.”

Sofrixa didnʼt delay as his Divine Sense spread over the soon-to-be battlefield. Countless Spirits of various weird forms took to the skies as well, their army surpassing the enemyʼs by over three times the number. ”I guess we can only do with what we have.”

Yet, just as Sofrixa gave his order, a flash of green light came in his direction, forcing him to dodge. In the next second, a spear appeared on his back, aiming to take his life in one swoop.

”Hmph!” Sofrixa snorted in response. He was a beholder, a very rare Spirit Race. From the looks of it, the enemy truly didnʼt know much about him, or they would never have tried to take him back. Thousands of eyes suddenly appeared at the end of his tentacles, all looking in all directions.

The spear then passed through the Sofrixaʼs body. Yet, that body began to phase away just like a mirage. Sofrixa reappeared not too far from there, looking in the direction of the spear holder. His opponent had two horns and a fluffy bum on the back while they were mixed in a humanoid form. ”I guess this is our first meeting, mister? Iʼm Sofrixa, a Semi-Celestial of the Beholder Race.”

The Semi-Celestial looked at Sofrixa as he narrowed his eyes. ”What an ugly-looking race. Iʼm Soma, commander of this army and member of the Matagar Race. Anyway, canʼt you just stay still? Fighting is meaningless. Your puny Universe will never be able to protect the Chaos Origin Source. There is no need for all of this. We might even bring someone like you back to our Universe, you know? Semi-Celestials are always in demand.”

Sofrixa snorted in response. ”Is that so? How come the first thing you did was to try to kill me? That doesnʼt look like the actions of someone trying to recruit a new friend. In any case, Iʼm responsible for all the Spirits in the Realm of Gods, so I canʼt just give them up.”

Soma shrugged. ”Well, I warned you.” Soma immediately attacked again as his Divine Sense spread. His orders reached every member of the Garisan Army there, causing the battle to start.

Himmel heard Sofrixaʼs words through the communication badge and couldnʼt help but sigh. ”They sure have various different personalities.” His eyes were still focused on a specific point tens of thousands of kilometers away. There, his own Semi-Celestial opponent stood still, hiding behind his army. He seemed to have no intention of fighting Himmel at the moment.

”Two can play this game.” Himmel simply let his army advance and gave over the command to the various strategists around. He was a Demon Beast, not good with warfare at all. There were people much better suited to this task. His only mission was to stop the other sideʼs Semi-Celestial in case he attacked.

The last place in the Realm of Gods that received the attention of the Garisan Army was not exactly in the Realm of Gods but in front of a monumental head that looked more like a turtle. Hyeoumu was obviously not left alone. The Garisan Universe knew about him and killing him would deal a great blow to the Universeʼs overall power.

Hyeoumu looked at those tiny points. Even the Spaceships themselves looked like nothing more than specs of dust in his eyes. ”Children of Garisan... Is that right?”

No one was there to help Hyeoumu, though. He was alone with the Garisan Universe experts. In front of him, no less than four Semi-Celestials stood. If not for their presence as Semi- Celestials, no one would ever think they could pose any threat to an existence like Hyeoumu. Their leader faintly smiled but didnʼt attack. Instead, he took a few steps forward to speak first. ”My name is Horan. Iʼve been to so many Universes already. And yet, this is the first time Iʼve seen such a huge life form like you. How about this? Someone like you would definitely be the favorite pet of the Celestial Realm experts out there. No, forget the Celestials. Perhaps even one of those freaks might show some interest in you. Would you consider coming back to Garisan with us? This is definitely not a bad deal for you. You can survive and rise to even higher heights if you play nicely.”
